Cont'd ** DISCO ORTHROS II ReDUX ** Another 3 Headed DISCO Monster

[Cpl-Chronic]

Decided to re-do the :LED systems for the ORTHROS II. I wanted to incorporate 3 LED controllers for a meaner looking display. The Leds for the 2nd version of the ORTHROS did not have that kind of sinister look the 1st version had....

Here are the 2 side by side in videos for you to ckeck out..

2nd ORTHROS

So, after all that work, I felt that the 2nd version lacked a 'mean' look, almost cartoon like in the way the woofers & body lit up. too busy..so I went back to the drawing board & decided to re-work the sections & the patterns in which they lit up to try to bring a little more street cred. to the action

The result is kind of UFO like..

I had to crack it open 1 more time to fix a couple of small snags...
1.. the right VU was sticking @ the 1/2-way point & needed to be fixed.
2... the tape deck needed the head re-aligned so it could play tapes properly...

Now it's all fixed up & the deck is fully working, sounds good too...

Here it is playing a chrome tape recorded on a 3 head deck....

As you can tell, the LED system is whisper quiet...no static at all...as always....

Wow man, these keep getting better. How many hours do you have into this one?

Thanx!! Umm hard to say....probably about 60-80 hours between planning, fabbing the parts & connectors, etc. & installing, painting the woofer & tweeter areas, grills, testing, etc. Keeps me out of trouble....
